Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]Let's head across the country for the massive star-studded Hollywood premiere of Michael.

[00:00:07]You see it, you can do it.

[00:00:10]You guys have shut down all of Hollywood Boulevard where they have the Oscars and this is your moment. It's really surreal and incredible.

[00:00:18]La Toya Jackson made her first public appearance supporting the film. Janet skipped the family reunion after a report claimed she was critical and enraged over the production which led to a blowup with Jaafar's father, Jermaine.

[00:00:32]Let's get into it because you and I have always had the kind of relationship where you will tell me exactly what's going on. There was absolutely no problem whatsoever. None whatsoever and please believe that.

[00:00:44]There's always going to be something here or something there but still you're family, your blood.

[00:00:49]What does your mother think of the movie?

[00:00:51]>> Mother has seen it and mother's here tonight. She felt and really thought Jaafar did an excellent job.

[00:00:56]>> Ready whenever you are, Michael.

[00:00:59]Your dad saw the movie for the first time in Berlin. Well, what was that like? It was so emotional. He cried, he couldn't believe that I was able to pull it off.

[00:01:06]Michael hits theaters Friday and a part two is in the works but one aspect of Michael's life not included in the film, the allegations of child molestation. ET [music] has learned the beginning and ending of the film were reshot after producers learned the estate did not have certain rights to tell that part of Michael's story.

[00:01:24]>> I believe music can change the world.

[00:01:28]Michael's eldest son and the film's executive producer, Prince Jackson, posed with his family and made a rare appearance with fiance Molly. It's no surprise Paris skipped after saying an early draft of the movie contained full-blown lies and didn't sit right with me. Hey Miles.

[00:01:44]Mr. Teller. Miles Teller posed with Michael's attorney, John Branca, who he plays in the film. Colman Domingo and Nia Long play parents Joe and Katherine Jackson. You're willing to fight, boy.

[00:01:54]Your interactions with Jaafar, what was that like? Amazing. I had a very fatherly feeling with him immediately. I know Mrs. Jackson is here tonight. Will you have a chance to hang with her for a second? I am going to meet her tonight and I am I am so nervous. And Usher's here. Usher.

[00:02:12]Such a fun night, ET. Oh my gosh.
